If this is true, why would we want to believe in conspiracies at all. Wouldn't not believing make more since?
You have a legit question. I've read 2 of David Ickes books. I'd say he's roughly 90% accurate. There's some stuff that's either not true, or
partially true in his books. (Icke is a lightsider who believes no matter what, good will somehow, always, win in the end. He'll go into graphic
detail on how "evil" is operating, listing incredible proof behind this... but then come up short in attempting to show how "good" will beat
evil.) But that's subject for another new thread.
Here's a quote from that link you posted in this thread:
There is no need for meditation,
- David Icke
This point of his is 1 million percent untrue! Meditation
strenghtens the mind LOL!
(meditation done correctly, with the right teacher. IMHO Holistic meditation is the best to learn first.)
BUT the point he
touches on - that the mind can control, and influence, your reality, is true! Icke in that article only touches on the truth.
He says you can 100% change your reality by simply thinking it. There's far, far, more to this than he says.
- There are others
working against you. Directly and indirectly.
- You can
influence your reality by your thoughts. But not 100% change it. Kind of like driving on a highway, and choosing which lane to be
in. Your still on the same highway as everyone else, but you can choose to be in the slow lane, middle lane, or fast lane.
- The other thing is, there are others on the highway who are trying to cut you off, smash you, bad drivers, etc... You are not on the highway
alone. You are not in this world, this reality, alone. Others are also in it, sharing it.
One of the laws of the universe is "Like attracts like". Meaning whatever you're looking for, is looking for you. The more effort you look for it,
the more effort/stronger, it will look for you. No matter if its good or bad.
(The Bible even supports this. "What thou seek ye shall find." or "Seek and thou shall find" depending on the Bible and its translation.)
Another guy and his site I strongly suggest you read is MeditationExpert.com
Instead of leaving you with scanning through the tons of articles there, let me bring to your attention one of the most brilliant essays, points,
subject for thought, ever written:
Merit and Wisdom
meditationexpert.com...
5. The principle of responsibility as empowerment.
Take responsibility because by the law of karma, no one can take responsibility for you just as no one can save you. Rather, you have to save
yourself
meditationexpert.com...
Watching your thoughts

Another site and guy to read with intresting points, and subjects to think about is:
The Socially Adept Psychopath
www.hal-pc.org...
(This article drives home the point how hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, of others are working against, you, me, and everyone else.)
